rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted October 23, 2010 A good move from BSNL. It was forced to pay for 3G Spectrum in all circles at the higest rates bid by private operators. It had no choice to choose and bid for a particular circle based on commericial viability. Now it has to recover those thousands of crores which deplted its reserves badly. Except Mumbai and New Delhi, BSNL is everywhere though good 3g network may be a question mark at some places. But BSNL's this move may get it even the usual broadband subscribers in addition to Mobile 3g subscribers who are crying for good speed unlimited data plans and which private operators are not giving. With 3g Sim USB Modems available only at Rs 1200, it may garner a huge chunk of such subscribers and may have good impact on broadband tariffs of private operators. It may not have immediate impact on 3g tariffs of private operators till MNP Comes as all high end users are loath to change their numbers for economical plans. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kesav 127 Report post Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) It looks like this offer is only for new customers. If that's the case, I'm really disappointed........ BSNL 3G data has short-term plans like 1 day, 3 days, 7 days and various normal plans of 30 days. Biggest miss in BSNL's 3G data kitty was long term plan like 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months. Now, BSNL has filled that gap but unfortuantely only for new customers. Edited October 23, 2010 by kesav Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 With Tata DOCOMO set to lauch service by diwali and others to be followed soon, this moves is on predictable lines. What they tried to do was skimming the 3G market of cream when it had absolute monopoly for a year and when competition steps in they lower their tariff to keep the flock. Cant say how far the above strategy have been successful for BSNL but they seems to have garnered some 1 million subscribers for 3G. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

srk006 21 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) When first used 3G speed was more than 3Mbps. But, Now. for me 3G speeds are never going above 2Mbps. In-fact it stays exactly at 2Mbps all along while downloading. Looks like BSNL is limiting the speed. Edited October 24, 2010 by srk006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kesav 127 Report post Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Here is the clear information. source :: http://telecomtalk.info/bsnl-unlimited-3g-data-plan-now-at-just-rs-700/45358/ I feel sad that I've recently purchased Huawei E176 for Rs.3424 (Modem Cost) + Rs.326 (Free BSNL SIM + FRC) = RS.3750 At that time cost of Linktop(LW273) 7.2 Mbps Triband modem was Rs. 3000 and I thought paying Rs. 400 for brand Huawei(and its added features) is worth. Since due to this announcement LW273 has become Rs. 2500, I hope there'll be fall in the price of E176 in the market.

Lol, well the very low upload speed will make the connection not useful for a lot of things. I sometimes have to transfer larger files besides of course p2p stuff. So for me this type of connection will just not do. As for BSNL wired BB, the upload speed is not that bad. I get around 40 kBps on my 64 kBps connection. Now, of course this isn't good either, as the ideal ul/dl ratio should of course be 1:1. But at least its usable. Seedbox... hmm... interesting... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
